Description
This is a great route for walking between Cardiff and Newport that is mostly along the Wales Coast Path. It has some awesome views across the Severn estuary and Gwent Levels.
Everyone in Cardiff and Newport who's happy walking 25km should catch the train to the other city and walk back again! You'll remember doing it for the rest of your lives.
The vast majority of the route is very exposed to the elements. If it's windy and rainy or very hot, you are going to feel it. If it's not and it's a clear day, you are going to have a fantastic day. There are no refreshment stops (the Lighthouse Inn at St. Brides Wentlooge is currently closed), so you'll need to take enough snacks and liquid to get you the whole way between the two cities.
The route is very similar to Cardnew Two, correcting a few access issues in Newport and Cardiff and making navigation a little easier

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
